Has anyone seen the Transformers Movie (1986) on Blu Ray?

According to AVS and similar forums this movie is actually region free. I figured I would import it, since I was never happy with the 20th anniv. DVD. Is it me or does Hot Rod look pink in that one? I just would like to know from anyone who owns it, how does it compare with the 20th anniv. DVD? TIA

Why, is there something special about it?

I dont own it, but if its Blu Ray, then that means it's Hi-Def. I'd love to see the old TF in HiDef, but not bad enough to import it.

I have heard that Hot Rod looks pink in the 20th anniversary release. Actually, Ryan (Seibertron) showed me a side-by-side comparison image on his laptop at BotCon, and it did look pretty pink.

Actually shows up cheaper in checkout on amazon UK. Air Mail is only a couple of bucks- the most you will pay is around $30- a little more than a US Blu Ray.


Whiner-tron, have you watched the 20th anniv. DVD on a Large LCD TV- it looks bad. It is very grainy and in some spots has bad blocking. Even upconverted it looks bad.

No, I have the disk from around five years ago; I have always loved transformers, but up till then I had only seen a few of the CGI "upgraded" G1 re-runs.
It's what recindled my intrest in G1.
I don't know if it's better quality or that the last time I saw it was about two years ago, but I recall it being fairly good quality.

Do you mean the Rhino one or the Metrodome one? Living in the US I tend to opt for UK TF dvds- the metrodome ones seem better, especially their last release...the ultimate edition. I opted for the UK G1 DVD series complete, because it is cheaper and has less errors on it than rhinos overpriced out of print G1 DVDs. I heard that they were thinking about re-releasing G1 dvds in the US.... too bad those will always be in the 4:3 full frame format. As for the DVD version upconverted- macroblocking is quite evident in the intro scene where Unicron is eating a planet. There is just too much motion for that type of compression.
